We are consecrated secular, daughters of  St. Angela Merici, also called Secular ursulines  because St. Angela has dedicated her Company to St. Ursula.  We live our total consecration to God in poverty, chastity and Obedience, in the everyday service with the people we meet, in the different social and ecclesial realities. We are in the world but not of the world, participating in the active life uniting  action  with  contemplation, acting in such a way as a ladder between earth and heaven. We commit ourselves for a wise discernment of the lights and darkness present in the world and in history to make room for the plan of God for it. We work together with so many brothers and sisters to favour fraternal relationships in our living and working environment capable of making human beings open themselves to God. We try to live a life style of peace and concord which characterised our Foundress. We are organized in diocesan and interdiocesan Companies united in the Federation Company of St. Ursula Secular Institute of St. Angela Merici.
